Circuits, Circles, and Loops: Towards a Regenerative Architecture

Harvard GSD

Present assumptions indicate that the management of our material world accounts for more than half of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly 50% of these emissions are directly attributable to building construction. And these numbers are predicted to grow, more than doubling the amount of material extracted and circulated around the planet by 2060. This course asks how we design new architectures that fit within the circuits, circles, and loops of a healthy, regenerative material…
